Un poquito de professional news: I’m moving into a reporting role at @KENS5 🎥
The last few months have given me a taste of on-camera life, with daily assists from colleagues. Excited to dive even deeper into the local politics beat. Grateful for the opportunity.
Kathleen Tobin Krueger's wife, Bob, was the last Texas Democrat to serve in the U.S. Senate—33 years ago.
I spoke with Kathleen about her late husband and the advice she gave James Talarico on the campaign trail, a few months before his Nov. 3 win. kens5.com/article/news/local…

One of the stories I really wanted to tell after Election Day.
Loved getting to explore the history of Mexican American women in Texas politics & hearing different perspectives on what this historic first means.

I spoke with @katy4congress the day before she set off for Washington DC for U.S. House orientation. Her most urgent priority: helping hundreds of Texans who have been without a voice in Congress since Tony Gonzales resigned in April. kens5.com/article/news/polit…

Bills we're seeing from Texas Democrats so far:
-Repealing sales tax breaks for data centers
-Raising the state's minimum wage
-Banning border wall construction on state park land
-Repealing the state's 287(g) mandate
Bill filing begins today for a divided Texas Legislature’s 2027 session.

Two months of 2026 film catch-up began this weekend, with two of the very best movies I’ve seen this year.
A strangely compelling double-feature about our proximity to personal history and our roles in making sense of it.

San Antonio City Council members are busy with proposals that they say have new momentum after Texas Democrats' statewide wins.
Here's one example: Three leaders are pushing for a new ordinance limiting when and how San Antonio police officers contact ICE. kens5.com/article/news/local…

This also has huge implications for @UTAustin at a moment its conservative leadership is driving changes to core classes, majors & deans.
@utsystem regents are appointed by the governor and three are up for reappointment next year. That includes Chairman Kevin Eltife. #txed
Gov. @GregAbbott_TX conceded to @GinaHinojosaTX, a former @AustinISD school board member. Hinojosa has said her Day 1 priority is replacing @TEAinfo commissioner Mike Morath. #txed #austinschools statesman.com/news/politics/…
U.S. Senator-elect James Talarico speaking now in Austin: “We just showed a politics of division is no match for a politics of love.”
